No INFORMATION AT WASHINGTON.

Special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-Genersl Up
shur, acting commissioner Of Indian
affairs, said to-day that the Indian office
mad not heard g word from any OF the
Indian agents relative to the alleged out
break of the White River Utes. For this
reason the Office is inclined to the BELIEF
that the reports of the QUIT -eak have
been exaggerated, if indeed there is any
truth in them. No information of the
Department up 10 the time OF closing the
Office this afternoon.
MET a PARTY OF BUCKS.
DENVER, Gel Aug. ia Glenwood
Springs dispatch says Senator Eddy, who
returned to-day from White River, met )
party OF sixty bucks last night who were
evidently trying to Join C0lOrOW. The
latter has also sent runner to his
brother ct the UncompEgre Agency ask
ing FOR assistance, and will probably get
nifty or sixty bucks from there. The fact
that no couriers have reached Glenwood
Springs from MeekeI since Friday, leads
people to believe the redskins are hold
ing the roads between those points. Con-
siderable apprehension is felt for settlers
around Meeker who failed to reach town
before the trouble began. The Governor
has ordered another company of state
militie to the scene, mek king l20 in oil SO
far sent. a courier vs. sent out from
Glenwood Springs tO-Gey. but has not yet
returned.
GENERAL CROOKS OPINION.
OMAHA, NEE, Aug. l5.-General Crook,
commanding the Department of Platte,
said to-day he did not know what would
be the outcome of the Indian uprising in
Colorado or the cause of it. The reports,
even those published, did not show that
there had been an uprising. II was al
nonsense, he claimed, to say that ColoroW
has a following Of $50 men. 1t was
equally ridiculous that Colorow had
started { # TO join an resurrection
Colorow has following said General CrooB
of not more than twenty men. He was
not on the reservation nor has he been
since 1879. He was troublesome fellow
and it could not be said what he might be
able to do in raising crowd in case OF
being impelled thereto. The nearest
point 10 the scene Of trouble is Fort
Duchisin and General Crook is holding
troops there in readiness to move at 8
minutes notice.
END OF ANOTHER UPRISING.
DENVER, Col, Aug. Is "A specis
from Glenwood says: Nothing has beer
heard from Sheriff Kendall since Thurs
daY last, but enough has come through
rough sources, bound over the range, tc
Justify the belief that battle has beer
fought with the Indians and that Colorov
got the worst Of it. 1t is known that five
Indians were killed or wounded and tha
the renegades concluded to 60 back to tn,
reservation if permitted to de
so. Colorow asks to be giver
fifteen days TO take the wounded Indians
back to the Ute's agency. His request
however, is believed by some to be
ruse to give him more time to receive re.
Inducements from other renegade band
that are roaming over the country
Others beheve ne will return to tn,
reservation and settle down. Genera
West will remain here for several day
awaiting developments.
